that's 61.2% of everyone 12 years and older. and there's news tonight about children in this country and the vaccine trials across the nation. abc's eva pilgrim leading us off. >> reporter: tonight, a warning from president biden about the growing threat from the delta variant first identified in india. "folks, the delta variant, a highly infectious covid-19 strain, is spreading rapidly among young people between 12 and 20 years old in the uk. if you're young and haven't gotten your shot yet, it really is time. it's the best way to protect yourself and those you love." the variant, which helped fuel the devastating surge in india, is now the dominant strain in the uk, which is why dr. fauci says getting vaccinated here at home is more urgent than ever. >> we want to get to and above the goal of 70% of the adult population receiving at least one dose by the fourth of july. >> reporter: right now, the

delta variant makes up 6% of samples tested in the u.s., but dr. fauci warning the u.s. is not in the clear. >> we cannot let that happen in the united states. if you've had your first dose, make sure you get that second dose. >> reporter: he says it's critical to get fully vaccinated. the pfizer vaccine was 88% effective against the delta variant after the second dose. but only 33% effective after just one dose. tonight, pfizer launching its phase two and three trial in younger children ages 5 to 11. today at stanford, 6-year-old sophia chavez and her 9-year-old brother nicholas getting the first of two shots, a lower dose of vaccine that what's given to adults. >> so far what we're seeing is the vaccine is just as safe and well tolerated as what we've seen in adults. >> reporter: in new orleans, 7-year-old russell bright getting his shot, too. >> that's why i've been trying see my friends more., so i can - >> and eva pilgrim back with us

again tonight. we know tens of millions of unused doses of the vaccine are sitting on shelves and tonight, several governors are warning a lot of this supply expires this month. i know the white house was pressed on this today? >> reporter: yes, david. the white house pushing back, saying it's just a small fraction of the total number of doses and that it's not realistic to expect that not a single dose would be wasted, but the scrutiny coming as much of the world is desperate for this covid vaccine. the governor of ohio saying they don't have a legal option to send vaccines to other states or other countries. david? >> all right, eva pilgrim leading us off tonight. eva, thank you. we're going to turn now to that scathing bipartisan senate report on the capitol riot. the attack on the capitol, finding that security and intelligence failures happened at every level of government and that warnings were ignored. the report revealing for one that a month before the attack, some authorities knew of stlets of violence, of blog posts with maps of the capitol, the tunnels, the exits. so, why wast at ition

shed? >> reporter: tonight, a blistering bipartisan report revealing massive security failures at every level of government leading up to january 6th. >> usa! >> reporter: the five-month investigation painting a dark picture, revealing critical breakdowns in communication and preparation, among the capitol police, fbi, dhs and department of defense. the panel finding on december 21st, weeks before the attack, capitol police intelligence had uncovered information about the threat of violence, including a blog post with a map of the capitol, encouraging trump supporters to "surround every building with a tunnel entrance/exit." one comment saying, "this is do or die. bring your guns." but the full scope of that information was never conveyed to capitol police leadership or its officers, who then came under attack. senator amy klobuchar was one of four senators who led the review. is there any reason why the

capitol should have been left vulnerable on january 6th. >> no. literally there were posts floating around with maps of the tunnels under the capitol. >> reporter: the report laying out 20 recommendations, including the selection of a new capitol police chief. late tonight the capitol police responding to the report. but the report did not address what led up to the attack, including if former president donald trump's words provoked the violence we saw that day or any contributing factors in weeks and months leading up to the attack. and tonight, recall ed alls for an independent january 6th commission. senator susan collins one of the few republicans on board. >> i see this report as very valuable, but not substitute for the independent commission. >> reporter: but it has already failed once in the senate, blocked by republicans. senate ma minority leader mitch mcconnell telling me it's a snon

starter. >> what we needed was a quick solution to the problem of security and pursuit of those who broke the law which the justice department assures me is going on very, very aggressively. >> all right, rachel scott, it was your question to senator mcconnell, saying it's a nonstarter. senator collins saying we still need to know more. so, the obvious question, will there be a deep dive into what led up to the attack on the capitol? >> reporter: well, david, there is just simply not enough republican support to launch an independent commission, but all eyes are on house speaker nancy pelosi. she does have the power to appoint a commercial committee to look into what happened. but republicans are already blasting that idea, calling it partisan. david? >> rachel scott reporting from the hill tonight. thank you, rachel. we turn next this evening to the suspects in the death of 6-year-old aiden leos, who was shot and killed while riding in the back seat of his mother's car in his booster seat. tonight, the couple appearing before a judge, charged for the first time. and now authorities revealing how the couple allegedly tried to hide the car after the shooting. here's will carr. >> reporter: tonight, marcus anthony eriz is charged with murder after authorities say he

killed 6-year-old aiden leos in a fit of road rage. the 24-year-old, who police say pulled the trigger, making his first court appearance along with his alleged accomplice wne wynne lee, who police say was the alleged driver and helped eri z avoid capture. the arrest coming more than two weeks after aiden, strapped in his carseat on the way to kindergarten, was killed by a bullet fired through the back of the car. aiden's last words as his mom clutched him in his arms, "mommy, my tummy hurts." >> in a civilized community, we should be able to drive our kids to school and not worry that they're going to be shot in the back. >> reporter: police say they've recovered the handgun, which they say was registered to eriz, and recovered the car, a white volkswagen, which they say was registered to lee's parents. >> once it came to light that they were wanted in the murder for a little boy, they absolutely engaged in hiding that car. >> reporter: the suspect's court appearance, one day after little aiden was laid to rest in a

private ceremony. aiden's mother spoke at a memorial service this weekend. >> he had a beautiful heart for others. and the most pure thoughts regarding this world and the people within it. >> reporter: as this memorial grows, a judge just upped the suspect's shooter's bail to $2 million, citing the seriousness of this crime. and if he's convicted, he could face up to life in prison. david? >> will carr from california again tonight. next, the dangerous storms moving through the northeast just before we came on the air tonight. damaging winds and lightning. the heat fufling all of this. and of course late today, we could see the pictures of all this. the storm blowing in, blackening the new york city skyline. senior meteorologist rob marciano tracking this all for us tonight. hey, rob. >> reporter: hey, david. this pattern is trying to change. we had big storms come through here with flooding rain and trees down. the radar shows it's still there. we have a severe thunderstorm warning outside of atlantic city. these are wind down later on tonight. flash flood emergency south of little rock today and severe thunderstorm watch up, remains there for the next couple of

hours. and more heat tomorrow in the upper midwest. minneapolis continues its week-long run of over 90 degrees. could set a record there. one more day of humidity in d.c., philly and new york, then big-time cooling coming thursday and friday, finally here in the northeast. david? >> all right, rob marciano. rob, thank you. we're also following the breaking headline from washington late today. president biden shutting down the infrastructure talks after several rounds with republican. so, what now? let's get right to our chief washington correspondent jonathan karl tonight. and the president holding one last call today with republican chief negotiator. >> reporter: republican senator shelley moore capito. so what now? >> reporter: both sides say they were making progress, but tonight, the white house says that the president informed senator capito that her latest offer, quote, did not meet the essential needs of our country. for her part, senator capito told abc news that the president repeatedly moved the goal posts and he just decided to walk away. and look, david, they were hundreds of billions of dollars

apart. biden wanted to pay for all of this by raising taxes on the wealthy and on some corporations, that is simply a nonstarter for republicans. so, right now, as we speak, there is yet another by sport can group meeting in the capitol. but bottom line, two sides don't agree on what to spend and how to pay for it. >> yon karl, thank you. you heard jon bring up taxes there. tonight, the massive irs tax leak has revealed the wealthiest of americans paying little to no federal income tax. jeff bezos, elon musk, warren buffett. the richest 25 people paying less in income tax than most american workers. and all of it legal. tonight, the outrage and renewed calls to level t's terry moran. >> reporter: the numbers revealed in the report from the investigator group pro publica are staggering. in 2007, amazon founder jeff bezos made $3.8 billion but bezos, now the richest man in

the world, paid nothing, not a dime in federal income taxes that year. same story for tesla billionaire elon musk in 2018. investment icon warren buffett says he supports higher taxes for the rich. >> the wealthy are definitely undertaxed. >> reporter: and he, too, has benefited, between 2014 and 2018, buffett made $24.3 billion. but over those years, he paid just $23.7 million in federal income taxes. >> families have to pay their tax bills regularly but the billionaires have found a way to avoid them. >> reporter: pro publica found nothing illegal. its investigation focused on federal income taxes, which are largely based on wages and salaries. but these billionaires make most of their money from investments, which have long been given preferential treatment, not from salaries. and that skewers the federal tax code towards the wealthy.

pro publica actually obtained a trove of irs data on thousands of the richest americans. that's an unprecedented leak of tax information and the irs and fbi are investigating. jeff bezos and elon musk declined to comment, but warren buffett declared in a statement, "i continue to believe that the tax code should be changed substantially." david? >> he has said that before. terry moran, thank you. now to the fbi and its role in a global sting. arrests in 16 countries. more than 800 people. criminals using what they thought was a secure app to communicate with one another, but it had been developed by the fbi. weapons, millions in cash, cocaine hidden in fruit. here's our chief justice correspondent pierre thomas now. >> reporter: tonight, one of the biggest international dragnets ever with the fbi deploying technology like it never has before. with the help of an informant, the fbi developed and distributed an encrypted app known as anon, putting it on more than 12,000 phones that

were pushed out to more than 300 crime syndicates around the world. >> the criminals using these devices believe they were secretly planning crimes far beneath the radar of law enforcement. but in reality, the criminals were not underneath the radar, they were on it. >> reporter: the app allowing authorities to track the criminals every move. like this brick of cocaine, part of a shipment from carlsbad, california, bound for australia. and these drugs found in bogota, housed in cases of bananas. >> we were able to actually see photographs of hundreds of tons of cocaine that were concealed in shipments of fruit. >> reporter: the sting uncovered murder for hire plots, saving lives. >> as of today, we have charged 224 alleged offenders, acted upon 21 threats to kill, including saving a family of five. >> and pierre thomas with us tonight. pierre, this comes amid the other major concern involving criminals overseas, the massive

cyber attacks in this country. and i know you spoke to dhs about those threats today. let's listen. >> we're not talking about people with conscience. we're talking about criminals who want to make money illegally or who want to do harm independent of a profit motive. >> and pierre, the ceo of the colonial pipeline testifying on the hill today, facing tough questions? >> reporter: colonial ceo said it will take a team effort by industry and government to combat hacking. but he admitted his company was not as prepared as it should have been, david. >> pierre thomas with us from washington tonight. pierre, thank you. we turn next here to vice president kamala harris concluding her high stakes visit to guatemala and mexico, taking on border issues and the root causes of some of what the u.s. is seeing on the u.s. border with mexico. the vice president meeting today with mexico's president, insisting the u.s. must focus on the root causes of migration. she said this is not a quick fix in talking with reporters, and she was pressed again about when

she'll go to the u.s. border. >> if this were easy, it would have been handled a long time ago. and there is no question that it is complex, in fact. and that we have to navigate the complexities of it with a goal of solving it. listen, i've been to the border before, i will go again. but when i'm in guatemala dealing with root causes, i think we should have a conversation about what's going on in guatemala. >> vice president harris stressing this will not produce immediate returns but pledging we will see progress on this. when we come back here tonight, the president of france slapped in the face. so with your home & auto bundle, you'll save money and get round-the-clock protection. -sounds great. -sure does. shouldn't something, you know, wacky be happening right now? we thought people could use a break. we've all been through a lot this year. -that makes sense. -yeah.
